Hey, ho, kids. Welcome to
the last Monday of the year. Here's #WhatsHappening:
Kesha's new band is called
yeast infection. Do I need to actually come up with a punchline?
 |
| Nope. |
The Pogues says they have
“had enough” of touring and are no longer an active band.
In a new interview with
Vice, singer Shane MacGowan says that since the group's 2001 reunion,
they'd “(grown) to hate each other all over again.”
MacGowan backpedaled a bit
quickly, though, saying “I don't hate the band at all- they're
friends. I like them a lot. We were friends for years before we
joined the band. We just got a bit sick of each other. We're friends
as long as we don't tour together. I've done a hell of a lot of
touring. I've had enough of it.”
The group last performed
together July 5, 2014 in support of The Libertines at Hyde Park.
Shameless self-promotion
#1: Join me for Saturday Night Karaoke, live and loud at The Iron
Horse Tavern from 10pm-1am this week.
Today's “WTF” story:
Billboard has named Joss Stone the top reggae artist of the year.
Stone's “Water For Your
Soul” topped the year-end reggae albums chart with sales of 29,000
copies in the US.
Released in July, “Water
For Your Soul” is Stone's seventh record to date and featured
collaborations with Damian Marley and Dennis Bovell.
I am not a fan of the word
“gifted”- unless you're referring to someone who has a talent for
something.
Katy Perry made one fan
very happy on Christmas Day. The singer sent a special handwritten
card and care package to 8-year-old burn victim Safyre Terry, who had
asked for a card from the pop star.
“Safyre, I heard about
your Christmas wish and am so honored that you saved the top of the
tree for me! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a great New
Year. I'll be thinking of you on Christmas day, Special girl,”
Perry wrote in the card.
TMZ reports the care
package included a hoodie, a backpack, a DVD of Perry’s Prismatic
tour, a DVD of her movie Part of Me, an iPhone 6 case and a kitty
black cat purse.
Terry has received more
than 500,000 cards and 10,000 packages from other people around the
U.S., including Beyonce and President Obama, according to Us Weekly.
